The penthouse flat offers generous space, plenty of light and an unobstructed view, which called for an equally superior kitchen solution. Ruf Design planned and realised a kitchen that is characterised by a worktop made of solid lava stone, a sink made of the same material and innovative kitchen technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-wchqk-0817328559408d5d3b7f0d43e6498233\">\n.avia-section.av-wchqk-0817328559408d5d3b7f0d43e6498233{\nposition:relative;\n}\n.avia-section.av-wchqk-0817328559408d5d3b7f0d43e6498233 .avia-divider-svg-top svg{\nheight:97px;\nwidth:calc(100% + 1.3px);\nfill:#959478;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-wchqk-0817328559408d5d3b7f0d43e6498233 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-parallax av-minimum-height av-minimum-height-custom av-height-custom  container_wrap fullsize'   data-av_minimum_height_px='97'><div class='avia-divider-svg avia-divider-svg-pyramids avia-divider-svg-top avia-svg-negative'><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveaspectratio=\"none\">\n\t<path d=\"M761.9,40.6L643.1,24L333.9,93.8L0.1,1H0v99h1000V1\"\/>\n<\/svg><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' style='height:97px'><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1089'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-tlyo4-391ab9d8c4744ffd5438eaea439d0ead main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1089'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-laslw-dbdcb7e1f5f891d2ada8374bf1a0cecc av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_masonry_gallery  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mdeyxlvu-2940bd765045388f65eb85662f25d73e\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-mdeyxlvu-2940bd765045388f65eb85662f25d73e{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-mdeyxlvu-2940bd765045388f65eb85662f25d73e .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-mdeyxlvu-2940bd765045388f65eb85662f25d73e .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-mdeyxlvu-2940bd765045388f65eb85662f25d73e av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The power of the lava stone<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdeyxt6r-a103debb98108f17e4656640e940b2c1'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The centrepiece of this kitchen is the lava worktop. Each slab is made from solid stone, carefully glazed and inserted with precision. The natural colouring lends the surface a calm depth that is in direct dialogue with the architecture. The design is complemented by a sink, also moulded from solid lava stone. This unity of worktop and sink turns the kitchen into a room that radiates durability and elegance. Lava stone is considered to be particularly hard-wearing, heat-resistant and easy to clean - properties that are just as impressive in everyday use as they are in terms of visual impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdeyy4a4-a91711d1a717484a84d7f393a3b32848'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"605\">Invisible cooking with Invisacook<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"938\">Technology is not visible in this kitchen, but part of the design. The Invisacook cooking system is installed invisibly under the lava surface and enables induction directly under the worktop. This leaves the surface completely free of visible hobs, giving the kitchen a unique calm and clarity. Invisacook represents a new generation of kitchen technology that combines design and function in perfect balance. For Ruf Design, the use of this technology is an example of how modern kitchen systems can also be realised in exclusive projects in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdeyydt6-e0bfb9b46eb2939b06585ef43a02ca7d'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"986\">Convenience through Quooker<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"892\">In addition to the cooking technology, the water system was also carefully selected. A Quooker tap supplies boiling, chilled or sparkling water directly from a tap. This solution replaces several appliances, saves space and offers maximum convenience. The interplay of Quooker and lava stone is as functional as it is aesthetic - the modern technology fades into the background and the clarity of the material takes centre stage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mdeyyr2z-3f9425a36a8c922bd8a599cfd75b5e44'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"3186\"><strong data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2767\">A room concept that connects<\/strong><br data-start=\"2767\" data-end=\"2770\" \/>The kitchen is part of a larger interior design project. In addition to the kitchen planning, the wardrobe and cupboard elements were also realised by Ruf Design. With carefully selected veneers, harmonious colouring and precise execution, a design unit was created that extends beyond the cooking area. The combination of kitchen, storage space and living area shows how holistically Ruf Design plans and realises.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3188\" data-end=\"3637\"><strong data-start=\"3188\" data-end=\"3215\">Precision craftsmanship<\/strong><br data-start=\"3215\" data-end=\"3218\" \/>The integration of Invisacook into the solid lava stone was particularly challenging. Every cut-out and every reinforcement had to be planned in such a way that function and durability were guaranteed. The solid sink required precise manufacturing, as did the transitions from stone to fronts and appliances. This interplay of material, craftsmanship and technology shows how much detail work determines the result.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3639\" data-end=\"4022\"><strong data-start=\"3639\" data-end=\"3666\">Design kitchen with attitude<\/strong><br data-start=\"3666\" data-end=\"3669\" \/>This kitchen in Horn is more than just a cooking environment. It is a statement of contemporary living on Lake Constance, where tradition and innovation come together. The natural strength of the lava stone, the invisible technology of Invisacook and the sophistication of the Quooker system come together to create a solution that harmonises everyday life and aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4024\" data-end=\"4435\"><strong data-start=\"4024\" data-end=\"4065\">Ruf Design - Planning and realisation<\/strong><br data-start=\"4065\" data-end=\"4068\" \/>The design was realised by Ruf Design. The project exemplifies the company's approach: kitchens are not created by chance, but by combining architecture, materials and utilisation. Horn shows how precise planning, craftsmanship and the choice of special materials can turn a kitchen into a centrepiece of the home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div id='av-masonry-1'
